Review & Install Video

Hey, what's going on guys? Adam here with americanmuscle.com. Today, I'm bringing you a quick overview and installation of the Barricade Three-Inch Side Step Bar with 90-degree ends, in the polished finish available for all 2015 and newer F-150s. So, in this video, I'll be going over the functionality and styling of the Barricade Three-Inch Side Step Bar, as well as materials and construction. I'll top everything off with the installation, which I'll also let you know will probably simple enough for any novice to take care of, and we get a one out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter.
So, the Barricade Three-Inch Side Step Bar with the 90-degree ends in the polished finish I have with me today is gonna be for all 2015 and newer F-150 owners out there, looking to switch out their factory side step bars. Or add something to their naked F-150 by also switching up the styling with the 90-degree ends with this particular option from Barricade, to overall give it a more aggressive look while keeping the same thickness. Now, obviously side step bars have the main function of helping you get in and out of your truck especially useful with a lifted setup, but of course also adds a stylistic aspect to the sides of your F-150. Now the stock size, if your F-150 did come with sidesteps, is gonna be a Three-Inch tubing which is exactly mimicked in this particular option from Barricade. The only difference with this one is obviously the bright, attractive polished finish, really grippy pads, which I'll touch on in just a bit, and a 90-degree bent end on either side. Which is very unique from the stock options, which will actually bend in a little more uniquely to under your doors.
Now, as far as materials and construction goes, here just a little bit further. This was manufactured out of a Three-Inch stainless steel tubing, giving that oval shape throughout similar to your stock option, but is set apart thanks to the 90-degree ends which give it that unique shine to tuck under your doors a little bit differently. Also with that said, you've got slip-resistant gripping pads here with a tread-like pattern given all year round safety and security, making sure you're hopping in and out of your truck very safely whether it's wet or dry weather. Now, again to finish that all off, it's finished in a mirror-like polished shine for that attractive finish giving you good looks all year round.
Now, I do wanna point out that this is sometimes referred to as protection for the sides of your F-150. Now, although I do slightly agree with that, I would not completely rely on these as full on side armor against the big trail hazards out there, but again, will protect you from smaller rocks and even door dings in the parking lot. So, keep that in mind when shopping around. Now, if this is something that piques your interest, this one is gonna be a very budget friendly item here on the site. You can expect to pick this up for just shy of 150 bucks. You are getting a lot of bang for your buck materials with the stainless steel, but of course, is bringing the price down thanks to the fact that it is very similar to the stock option. If you're trying to stray away from that stock option, there are a lot of unique options on the site, but if you're looking to stay in that stock range with 90-degree ends here to give it a little more unique flare, this one might be for you.
Now, as far as the installation goes like I said in the very beginning, this one is gonna be simple enough for any novice to take care of with a few simple hand tools like a ratchet and socket set. It will not require any drilling or permanent modification, and it comes with all hardware necessary to get the job done. You'll be mounting the brackets on the preexisting mounting studs, located on the interior wall of your rocker panel. From there, tighten down those brackets using the hardware provided in the kit, then place the sides step onto those brackets on one side of your F-150, tighten that down by hand and then repeat the process to the other side of the truck. Tighten all the hardware down to spec at 15 to 20 foot-pounds, and you're good to go. Overall, about an hour's worth of time on the install, and a one out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter.
Just to wrap things up here, if you're the owner of a 2015 or newer F-150 and you're looking for a very budget-friendly item to help you get in and out of your truck especially if it's lifted, while not straying too far from the stock option. You might wanna check out the Barricade Three-Inch Side Step Bar with the 90-degree ends in the polished finish, available right here at americanmuscle.com.

Put these on my new F150 and these really were what I needed. As I get older I find it's more difficult getting into and out of these newer trucks. These step bars were easy to install and are perfect for my needs.

These are very nice running boards for the price and really easy to install took me 30min and they have a factory like appearance even though they are aftermarket i am very satisfied with these. It makes it a lot easier for my mother to get in and out of the truck when i take her to her doctors appointments. She appreciates these a lot

After getting our new running boards it too about 40 minutes to install. My wife is very satisfied and we can’t stop telling our friends. The running boards look like they came with the truck originally.

Was not sure about purchasing these side step bars because of the price but it turns out that these side bars are really good deal. They been holding up very well and I have no problem holding my weight when stepping into the truck. Would recommend these to anybody on a budget.

I ordered my barricade step bars online not only was it super easy to order but also to make sure i was getting bars that would fit my truck got my order really quickly and they are super easy to install did both sides in about 45 min.

I read the reviews and almost was steered off by the many comments of this item scratched or dented when received in the box. Mine were fine. A straight forward install using only a 15mm and 18mm wrench. Not a performance mod but it helped the family and little ones get in and out of the high truck a lot easier. 140 bux well spent

Barricade made a quality product here. Easy as pie install with its all included hardware and easy to read instructions. Brackets are heavy duty and will stand the test of time. Barricade even included the plastic spacers to assist in preventing corrosion when metal to metal constant exist between two points. The product demonstrates quality in design and execution. Installed in about 20 minutes. Fit and finish is by far one of the best I seen. Well packaged and a true must have for my standard cab F150.

Not my 1st choice, but I needed something affordable and quick so my wife could stop complaining about not being able to get into my truck. Glad to say, I don't hear her complain anymore. They worked out great and I didn't really lose much clearance space either. A nice addition to my 4x4 build.
